PREFACE 

TO  THE  FIRST  EDITION. 


In  offering  to  the  public  this  work  of  reference,  the  author  has  the 
satisfaction  of  knowing  that  he  has  been  conscientious  in  its  preparation. 
It  embodies  years  of  patient  labor — a  labor  of  love,  rather  than  a  labor 
with  prospects  of  pecuniary  gain — and  if  it  shall  prove  acceptable  and 
satisfactory  to  the  people,  in  whose  interest  it  has  been  compiled,  his 
object  will  be  fully  attained.  In  regard  to  dates  and  incidents  the  work 
will  be  found  reliable,  although  not  perfect.  As  the  sources  of  informa- 
tion have  necessarily  in  some  instances  been  confined  tojcurrent  literature, 
and  foreign  affairs  have  been  frequently  dealt  with,  there  may  be  a  few 
technical  errors.  The  author  will  be  thankful  to  any  readers,  who  may 
discover  such  mistakes,  if  they  will  direct  his  attention  to  them,  that 
they  may  not  appear  in  any  further  editions  that  may  be  published.

PREFACE 

TO  THE  SECOND  EDITION. 


This   edition  of  Church  Chronology,    consisting  of   25,000   copies^ 
is  a   thorough   revision   of  the   first  edition,   with   many   new   features 
added,    and    the    chronological    thread    brought    down    to    the   close 
of  1898.       Before   printing,   the   copy   was    carefully  read   to   a   com- 
mittee appointed  by  Historian    Franklin   D.  Richards,  consisting  of  As- 
sistant Historians  John   Jaques  and  Charles  W.  Penrose   and  Elder  A. 
Milton  Musser.     Great  pains  have  been  taken  to  make  the  work  accu- 
rate and  in  all  respects  reliable  as  a  work  of  reference,  and  as    such  it  is 
respectfully  presented  to  the   public  at  large,  and   particularly   to  those 
who  desire   correct    information  in    regard  to  the    Latter-day  Saints  and 
their  most  remarkable  history.

INTRODUCTORY. 

The  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints  was  organized  with 
six  members,  April  6,  1830,  at  a  meeting  held  at  Fayette,  Seneca  Co., 
N.  Y.  Since  that  time  is  has  continually  grown,  and  its  members  have 
steadily  increased  until  the  greater  portion  of  Utah  and  parts  of  Idaho, 
Arizona,  Nevada,  Wyoming,  Colorado  and  New  Mexico  are  peopled  with 
Latter-day  Saints.  There  are  also  colonies  of  Saints  in  Old  Mexico  and 
Canada,  besides  branches  and  conferences  in  nearly  every  State  in  the 
Union  and  in  Great  Britain,  Denmark,  Sweden,  Norway,  Germany, 
Switzerland,  Holland,  Belgium,  Turkey,  New  Zealand,  Australia,  Tas- 
mania, Hawaii,  Samoa,  Society  Islands,  Tuamotu  Islands,  and  other 
countries.  The  Church  in  her  gathered  condition  consists  at  the  present 
time  of  forty  organized  Stakes  of  Zion,  of  which  twenty-five  are  in  Utah, 
or  mostly  so,  seven  in  Idaho,  four  in  Arizona,  one  in  Colorado,  one  in 
Wyoming,  one  in  Old  Mexico,  and  one  in  Canada.  The  Saints  in 
Nevada  and  New  Mexico  belong  to  Stakes,  the  headquarters  of  which  are 
located  in  Utah. 

The  general  authorities  of  the  Church  consists  of,  i ,  The  First  Pre- 
sidency; 2,  The  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles;  3,  Presiding  Patriarch; 
4,  The  First  Council  of  Seventies;  5,  The  Presiding  Bishopric;  6, 
Church  Historians. 

THE  FIRST  PRESIDENCY. 

Joseph  Smith  the  Prophet,  "who  was  called  of  God  and  ordained 
an  Apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  first  Elder  of  this  Church"  (Doc.  and 
Gov.,  20:2),  was  the  first  President  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Latter-day  Saints.  For  nearly  three  years  after  its  organization  he  acted 
without  Counselors,  but  close  by  his  side  and  associated  with  him  in 
nearly  all  his  administrations,  stood  Oliver  Cowdery,  "who  was  also  called 
of  God,  an  Apostle  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  second  Elder  of  this 
Church, and  ordained  under  his  (Joseph's)  hand."  (Doc.  and  Gov., 20:3.) 

March,  18,  1833,  agreeable  to  a  revelation  given  March  8,  1833,  the 
Prophet  Joseph  ordained  Sidney  Rigdon  to  be  his  first  and  Frederick  G. 
Williams  to  be  his  second  Counselor.  Prior  to  this,  at  a  conference  held 
at  Amherst,  Lorain  Co.,  Ohio,  Jan.  25,  1832,  Joseph  the  Prophet  had 
been  acknowledged  as  President  of  the  High  Priesthood.  A  similar 
action  was  taken  at  a  general  council,  held  April  26,  1832,  at  Indepen- 
dence, Jackson  Co.,  Mo. 

At  an  important  conference  held  at  Far  West,  Caldwell  Co.,  Mo., 
Nov.  7,  1837,  Frederick  G.  Williams  was  rejected  as  a  Counselor  to  Pres. 
Smith,  charges  having  previously  been  made  against  him  at  a  conference 
held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Sept.  3,  1837.  On  the  same  occasion  Hyrum 
Smith  was  appointed  his  successor  by  unanimous  vote.  Hyrum  Smith 
filled  his  position  with  honor  and  ability,  until  some  time  after  the  demise 
of  his  father,  Joseph  Smith,  sen.,  who  died  at  Nauvoo,  111.,  Sept.  14, 
1840.

INTRODUCTORY.  VU 

In  a  revelation  given  through  Joseph  the  Prophet  atNauvoo,  Jan.  19^ 
1 841,  Hyrum  Smith  was  called  to  take  the  office  ol  Patriarch  to  the 
Church,  as  his  father's  successor.  In  the  same  revelation  William  Law 
was  called  to  succeed  Hyrum  Smith  as  second  Counselor  to  Pres.  Joseph 
Smith.  William  Law  occupied  this  position  until  April  18,  1844,  whe» 
he,  together  with  others,  who  like  himself  had  apostatized,  were  excom.- 
municated  from  the  Church. 

Joseph  the  Prophet  was  martyred  at  Carthage,  111.,  June  27,  1844^ 
when  the  responsibility  of  presiding  over  the  Church  fell  upon  the  Twelve 
Apostles.  They  constituted  the  presiding  Council  of  the  Church  till 
Dec.  5,  1847,  when  an  important  council  meeting  was  held  at  the  house 
of  Apostle  Orson  Hyde.  On  this  occasion  Brigham  Young  was  unani^ 
mously  elected  President  of  the  Church,  with  authority  to  choose  his 
Counselors,  which  he  did  by  naming  Heber  C.  Kimball  for  his  first  and 
Willard  Richards  for  his  second  Counselor.  The  following  Apostles 
attended  this  council  meeting :  Brigham  Young,  Heber  C.  Kimball,  Orson 
Hyde,  Willard  Richards,  Wilford  Woodruff,  Geo.  A.  Smith,  Amasa  M. 
Lyman  and  Ezra  T.  Benson.  These  transactions  on  the  part  of  the 
Twelve  were  ratified  by  the  Church  at  a  conference  held  in  the  Log  Tab- 
ernacle, at  Council  Bluffs,  Iowa,  Dec.  27,  1847,  and  at  the  general  con« 
ference  held  in  G.  S.  L.  Valley,  Oct.  8,  1848. 

Counselor  Willard  Richards  died  of  dropsy  in  G.  S.  L.  City,  March 
II,  1854.  At  the  general  conference,  held  April  6,  1854,  Jedediah  M. 
Grant  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy  thus  created. 

Counselor  Jedediah  M.  Grant  died  Dec.  i,  1856,  and  Daniel  H. 
Wells  succeeded  him  as  second  Counselor  to  Pres.  Brigham  Young,  beingf 
ordained  and  set  apart  to  that  position,  Jan.  4,  1857.  Daniel  H.  Wells 
acted  in  that  capacity  till  the  death  of  Pres.  Young. 

Counselor  Heber  C.  Kimball  died  June  22, 1868,  in  Salt  Lake  City.  The 
vacancy  occasioned  thereby  was  filled  by  the  appointment  of  George  A. 
Smith  to  the  position  of  first  Counselor  in  the  First  Presidency.  He 
served  in  that  capacity  until  his  death,  which  occurred  in  Salt  Lake  City, 
Sept.  I,  1875.  John  W.  Young  succeeded  him  as  first  Counselor,  being 
sustained  as  such  by  the  general  conference  held  Oct.  8,  1876. 

Pres.  Brigham  Young  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Aug.  29,  1877,  after 
which  the  Twelve  Apostles  again  presided  over  the  Church,  continuing 
to  do  so  for  three  years,  or  until  the  general  conference  held  in  Salt  Lake 
City  in  October,  1880,  when  the  First  Presidency  was  organized,  for  the 
third  time,  by  the  appointment  of  John  Taylor  as  President,  with  Geo. 
Q.  Cannon  as  his  first  and  Joseph  F.  Smith  as  his  second  Counselor. 

Pres.  John  Taylor  died  at  Kaysville,  Davis  Co.,  Utah,  July  25, 
1887,  after  which  the  Twelve  Apostles  presided  over  the  Church  till  the 
general  conference,  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  in  April  1889,  o^  which 
occasion  a  First  Presidency  was  again  organized,  consisting  of  Wilford 
Woodruff,  President;  Geo.  Q.  Cannon,  first  Counselor;  and  Joseph  F. 
Smith,  second  Counselor. 

Pres.  Wilford  WoodrufTdied  in  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Sept.  2,  1898. 
At  an  important  council  meeting  of  the  Apostles,  held  in  Salt  Lake  City, 
Sept.  13,  1898,  the  First  Presidency  was  once  more  organized,  as 
follows:  Lorenzo  Snow,  President;  Geo.  Q.  Cannon,  first  Counselor; 
Joseph  F.   Smith,  second  Counselor. 

By  the  foregoing  it  will  be  seen  that  five  Apostles,  namely,  Joseph 
Smith,  Brigham  Young,  John   Taylor,    Wilford  Woodruff  and  Lorenzo 


VUl  INTRODUCTORY. 

Snow,  have- filled  the  exalted  position  of  President  of  the  Church;  five 
(Sidney  Rigdon,  Heber  C.  Kimball,  Geo.  A.  Smith,  John  W.  Young 
and  Geo.  Q.  Cannon)  have  acted  as  first  Counselors:  and  seven  (Frederick 
G.  Williams,  Hyrum  Smith,  William  Law,  Willard  Richards,  Jedediah 
M.  Grant,  Daniel  H.  Wells  and  Joseph  F.  Smith)  as  second  Counselors 
in  the  First  Presidency,  since  the  first  organization  of  the  Council  in  1833. 

COUNCIL  OF  TWELVE  APOSTLES. 

In  a  revelation,  given  through  Joseph  the  Prophet,  in  June  1829,  at 
Fayette,  Seneca  Co. ,  N.  Y. ,  the  Lord  made  known  that  Twelve  Apostles 
should  be  called  in  this  dispensation.  (Doc  and  Cov.,  Sec.  18.)  Nearly 
six  years  later,  on  Feb.  14,  1835,  at  a  special  meeting,  held  at  Kirtland, 
Ohio,  Joseph  the  Prophet,  in  accordance  with  that  revelation,  blessed 
Oliver  Cowdery,  David  Whitmer  and  Martin  Harris,  the  Three  Witnesses 
to  the  Book  of  Mormon,  to  select  twelve  men  who  should  constitute 
the  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles.  They  were  chosen  by  the  Three  Wit- 
nesses in  the  following  order:  Lyman  E.  Johnson,  Brigham  Young, 
Heber  C.  Kinball,  Orson  Hyde,  David  W.  Patten,  Luke  S.  Johnson, 
Wm.  E.  McLellin,  John  F.  Boynton,  Orson  Pratt,  William  Smith,  Thos. 
B.  Marsh  and  Parley  P.  Pratt.  Most  of  these  brethren  the  previous  year 
( 1 834)  had  proved  their  faithfulness  and  integrity  to  the  Church  as  mem- 
bers of  Zion's  Camp,  which  journeyed  from  Kirtland,  Ohio,  to  Missouri 
and  back,  subject  to  much  suffering  and  many  privations.  They  were 
ordained  to  the  Apostleship  by  Joseph  Smith,  Oliver  Cowdery,  David 
Whitmer  and  Martin  Harris  as  follows:  Lyman  E.  Johnson,  Brigham 
Young:  and  Heber  C.  Kimball  on  Feb.  14,  1835;  Orson  Hyde,  David  W. 
Patten, Luke  S.  Johnson,  Wm.E.  McLellin,  John  F. Boynton  and  William 
Smith  on  the  following  day,  Feb.  15th;  Parley  P.  Pratt  on  Feb.  21st;  and 
Thomas  B.  Marsh  and  Orson  Pratt,  who  had  been  absent  on  missions,  in 
April,  1835.  At  a  grand  council,  held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  May  2,  1835, 
at  which  the  First  Presidency  was  in  attendance,  the  Twelve  were  arranged 
according  to  their  age,  after  which  they  stood  as  follows,  commencing 
with  the  eldest:  Thomas  B.  Marsh,  David  W.  Patten,  Brigham  Young, 
Heber  C.  Kimball,  Orson  Hyde,  William  E.  McLellin  Parley  P.  Pratt, 
Luke  S.  Johnson,  William  Smith,  Orson  Pratt,  John  F.  Boynton  and 
Lyman  E.  Johnson. 

In  1837  ^^^  1838  four  of  the  Twelve  apostatized,  namely,  John  F. 
Boynton,  disfellowshipped  Sept.  3,  1837,  at  Kirtland,  Ohio;  Lyman  E. 
Johnson  and  Luke  S.  Johnson,  excommunicated  April  13,  1838,  at  Far 
West,  Missouri;  and  Wm.  E.  McLellin,  excommunicated  May  11,  1838, 
at  Far  West. 

July  8,  1838,  John  Taylor,  John  E.  Page,  Wilford  Woodruff  and 
Willard  Richards  were  called  by  revelation  to  fill  the  places  of  those  who 
had  fallen.  Elders  Page  and  Taylor  were  ordained  Dec.  19,  1838;  Wil- 
ford Woodruff  April  26,  1839,  at  Far  West,  Missouri;  and  Willard  Rich- 
ards April  14,  1840,  at  Preston,  England. 

In  the  meantime  other  vacancies  occurred.  David  W.  Patten  was 
killed  in  the  Crooked  River  batde,  in  Missouri,  Oct.  25,  1838,  and  Thos. 
B.  Marsh  was  excommunicated  for  apostasy,  March  17,  1839,  at  Quincy, 
111.  To  fill  the  two  vacancies  occasioned  thereby,  George  A.  Smith  (or- 
dained April  26,  1839,  at  Far  West,  Mo.)  and  Lyman  Wight  (ordained 
April  8,  1 84 1,  at  Nauvoo,  111.),  were  chosen. 


INTRODUCTORY.  IX 

William  Smith  was  rejected  as  an  Apostle,  at  the  general  conference 
held  at  Nauvoo,  in  October,  1845,  and  finally  excommunicated  from  the 
Church, Oct.  12,  1846.  John  E.  Page  was  disfellowshipped,  Jan.  9,  1846, 
at  a  council  meeting  held  at  Nauvoo,  111.  Amasa  M.  Lyman,  who  had 
been  ordained  an  Apostle,  Aug.  20, 1842, at  Nauvoo,  and  Ezra  T.  Benson, 
ordained  July  16,  1846,  at  Council  Bluffs,  Iowa,  were  chosen  to  fill  the 
vacancies. 

The  reorganization  of  the  First  Presidency  in  December,  1847,  with 
three  of  the  Apostles  (Brigham  Young,  Heber  C.  Kimball  and  Willard 
Richards),  and  the  excommunication  ot  Lyman  Wright  for  apostacy, 
Feb.  12,  1849,  made  four  vacancies  in  the  Council  of  the  Twelve.  These 
were  filled  Feb.  12,  1849,  at  an  important  council  meeting  held  in  the 
"Old  Fort,"  G.  S.  L.  City,  when  Elders  Charles  C.  Rich,  Lorenzo 
Snow,  Erastus  Snow  and  Franklin  D.  Richards  were  ordained  Apostles. 

The  next  vacancy  occurred  May  13,  1857,  when  Parley  P.  Pratt  was 
assassinated  near  Van  Buren,  Arkansas.  George  Q.  Cannon  was  chosen 
to  fill  the  vacancy,  being  ordained  an  Apostle  Aug.  20,  i860,  in  G.  S.  L. 
City,  Utah. 

In  October,  1867,  Amasa  M.  Lyman  was  dropped  fi-om  the  Council 
of  the  Twelve;  and  Joseph  F.  Smith,  who  had  previously  been  ordained 
to  the  Apostleship,  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy,  Oct  6,  1867,  at  a 
general  conference. 

Geo.  A.  Smith  was  chosen  as  first  Counselor  to  Pres.  Brigham 
Young,  after  the  demise  of  Heber  C.  Kimball  in  1868.  Elder  Brigham 
Young,  jun.,  who  previously  had  been  ordained  an  Apostle,  was  chosen 
to  fill  the  vacancy,  being  sustained  as  a  member  of  the  Council  of  the 
Twelve  at  the  general  conference  held  Oct.  9,  1868. 

Elder  Ezra  T.  Benson  died  Sept.  3,  1869,  at  Ogden,  Utah.  Albert 
Carrington  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy,  and  was  ordained  an  Apostle, 
July  3,  1870,  in  Salt  Lake  City. 

Orson  Hyde,  who  had  acted  as  president  of  the  Twelve  Apostles, 
from  the  reorganization  of  the  First  Presidency  in  1847,  to  October, 
1875,  died  Nov.  28,  1878,  at  Spring  City,  Sanpete  Co.,  Utah.  At  the 
annual  conference,  held  April  7,  1879,  Elder  Moses  Thatcher  was  chosen 
to  fill  the  vacancy. 

After  the  death  of  Pres.  Brigham  Young,  in  1877,  the  Twelve  Apos- 
tles presided  over  the  Church  nearly  three  years.  Daniel  H.  Wells  and 
John  W.  Young,  who  had  acted  as  Pres.  Brigham  Young's  Counselors, 
were  sustained  by  the  Church  as  Counselors  to  the  Twelve. 

Another  reorganization  ot  the  First  Presidency  took  place,  Oct.  10, 
1880,  at  the  general  conference  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  three  of  the 
Apostles  (John  Taylor,  Geo.  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith)  being 
chosen  to  constitute  said  Presidency.  This  caused  three  vacancies  in  the 
Council  of  the  Twelve,  two  of  which  were  filled  Oct.  27,  1880,  by  the 
ordination  of  Francis  M.  Lyman  and  John  Henry  Smith  to  the  Apostle- 
ship. 

Orson  Pratt,  the  last  surviving  member  of  the  first  Council  of  Twelve 
Apostles,  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  Oct.  3,  1881.  The  vacancy 
occasioned  by  his  demise,  and  the  vacancy  left  since  October,  1880,  was 
filled  by  the  calling  of  George  Teasdale  and  Heber  J.  Grant  to  the 
Apostleship.  These  brethren  were  called  by  direct  revelation,  through 
Pres.  John  Taylor,  and  were  ordained  in  Salt  Lake  City,   Oct.    16,    1882. 

Charles   C.   Rich  died  at  Paris,   Bear  Lake  Co.,   Idaho,   Nov.   17,

1883,  and  the  vacancy  caused  thereby,  in  the  Council,  was  filled  by  the 
ordination  of  John  W.  Taylor  to  the  Apostleship,  Oct  16,  1883. 

After  the  death  of  Pres.  John  Taylor,  July  25,  1887,  the  Twelve 
Apostles  acted  as  presiding  Council  of  the  Church  for  about  one  year 
and  nine  months,  during  which  time  Geo.  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F. 
Smith  occupied  their  former  positions  as  members  of  the  Council  of 
Twelve  Apostles. 

At  the  general  conference,  held  in  April,  1889,  the  First  Presidency 
was  reorganized,  with  Wilford  Woodruff  as  President.  The  vacancy  in 
the  Council  of  the  Apostles  caused  thereby,  as  well  as  that  occasioned  by 
the  excommunication  of  Albert  Carrington,  in  November,  1885,  and  a 
third  vacancy  caused  by  the  demise  of  Erastus  Snow,  May  27,  1888,  were 
filled  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  October,  1889,  by  the  calling  of 
Marriner  W.  Merrill,  Anthon  H.  Lund  and  Abraham  H.  Cannon  to  the 
Apostleship. 

Abraham  H.  Cannon  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  July  19,  1896,  and 
Moses  Thatcher  was  dropped  from  his  position  as  one  of  the  Twelve 
Apostles,  Nov.  19,  1896.  The  two  vacancies  thus  occasioned  were  filled 
at  the  general  conference  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  in  October,  1897,  v;hen 
Matthias  F.  Cowley  and  Abraham  Owen  Woodruflf  were  sustained  as 
members  of  the  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles. 

After  the  death  of  Pres.  Wilford  Woodruff,  Sept.  2,  1898,  the 
Twelve  Apostles  once  more  became  the  presiding  Council  of  the  Church, 
and  Geo.  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith  were  returned  to  their  former 
positions  among  the  Twelve  Apostles.  But  the  Apostles  only  retained 
the  presidency  a  few  days.  Sept.  13,  1898,  the  First  Pesidency  was 
organized  the  fifth  time  since  the  organization  of  the  Church,  Lorenzo 
Snow,  Geo.  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith  being  the  three  Apostles 
chosen  to  form  the  new  Presidency.  This  caused  a  vacancy  in  the  Coun- 
cil of  the  Apostles,  which  was  filled  at  the  general  conference,  held  in 
Salt  Lake  City,  Oct.  9,  1898,  when  Rudger  Clawson  was  sustained  as 
one  of  the  Twelve  Apostles. 

The  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles  now  stands  as  follows:  Franklin  D. 
Richards,  president.  Brigham  Young,  Francis  M.  Lyman,  John  Henry 
Smith,  Geo.  Teasdale,  Heber  J.  Grant,  John  W.  Taylor,  Marriner  W. 
Merrill,  Anthon  H.  Lund,  Matthias  F.  Cowley,  Abraham  Owen 
Woodruflf  and    Rudger  Clawson. 

PRESIDING  PATRIARCHS. 

Joseph  Smith,  sen.,  father  of  the  Prophet  Joseph  Smith,  was  the 
first  Patriarch  in  the  Church.  He  was  ordained  to  that  high  and  holy 
calling,  Dec.  18,  1833,  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  under  the  hands  of  the 
Prophet  Joseph.  Oliver  Cowdery,  Sidney  Rigdon  and  Frederick  G.  Wil- 
liams. Father  Smith  continued  as  Patriarch  until  his  death,  which  occurred 
at  Nauvoo,  111.,  Sept.  14,  1840.  In  an  important  revelation,  given 
through  the  Prophet  Joseph,  Jan.  19,  1841,  Hyrum  Smith,  Father  Smith's 
eldest  living  son,  who  then  acted  as  second  Counselor  in  the  First  Pre- 
sidency, was  called  to  succeed  his  father  as  Patriarch.  He  ' '  received' ' 
the  office,  Jan.  24,  1841,  and  kept  it  until  his  martyrdom  in  Carthage 
Jail,  111.,  June  27,  1844.  His  brother  William  Smith,  who  was  also  a 
member  of  the  Council  of  Twelve  Apostles,  succeeded  him  by  virtue  of 
his  birthright,  or  age,  but  he  apostatized.      At  the  general  conference, 


Xll  INTRODUCTORY. 

held  in  October  1845,  he  was  rejected  as  an  Apostle  and  as  a  Patriarch. 
He  was  finally  excommunicated  from  the  Church,  Oct.  12,  1845. 

After  the  rejection  of  William  Smith,  the  Patriarchal  office,  accord- 
ing to  the  hereditary  order  belonged  to  Asahel  Smith  (a  brother  of 
Joseph  Smith,  sen.),  who  had  been  ordained  a  Patriarch  at  Nauvoo  in 
1844;  but  his  health  being  poor,  he  is  not  known  to  have  officiated  in  his 
office  as  a  Patriarch.  Soon  afterwards  (July  20,  1848)  he  died  at  lowa- 
ville,  Wapello  Co.,  Iowa. 

John  Smith,  another  brother  of  the  late  Joseph  Smith,  sen.,  who 
had  previously  been  ordained  a  Patriarch  at  Nauvoo,  was  ordained  pre- 
siding Patriarch  in  the  Church,  Jan.  i,  1849,  ^^  G.  S.  L.  City,  under  the 
hands  of  Brigham  Young  and  Heber  C.  Kimball.  He  had  been  sustained 
as  a  "Patriarch  in  the  Church"  as  early  as  the  general  conference,  held 
at  Winter  Quarters,  April  6,  1847. 

Uncle  John  Smith,  as  he  was  familiarly  called,  died  May  23,  1854, 
in  G.  S.  L  City.  John  Smith,  eldest  son  of  the  martyred  Hyrum 
Smith,  to  whom  the  Patriarchal  Priesthood  descended  direct  from  his 
father,  was  chosen  as  his  successor.  At  the  time  of  his  father's  death  he 
was  too  young  to  receive  the  office.  He  was  ordained  presiding  Patriarch, 
Feb,  18,  1 855,  in  G.S.L.City,by  Pres.  Brigham  Young,  and  is  the  present 
incumbent  of  the  office  of  Presiding  Patriarch. 

FIRST  COUNCIL  OF  SEVENTIES. 

The  organization  of  the  first  quorum  of  Seventy  was  commenced  at 
Kirtland,  Ohio,  Feb.  28,  1835.  Nearly  all  the  first  members  consisted 
of  men  who  had  distinguished  themselves  for  their  faithfulness  as 
members  of  Zion's  Camp.  When  the  quorum  was  iuUy  organized  the 
following  were  chosen  to  act  as  its  seven  presidents;  Hazen  Aldrich, 
Joseph  Young.  Levi  W.  Hancock,  Leonard  Rich,  Zebedee  Coltrin,  Ly- 
man Sherman  and  Sylvester  Smith. 

Questions  arose  among  some  ot  the  brethren  in  regard  to  the  corre- 
sponding grades  of  the  Seventies  and  High  Priests,  and  it  was  ascertained 
that  five  or  six  of  the  seven  presidents  had  previously  been  ordained 
High  Priests.  The  Prophet  Joseph  Smith,  in  a  meeting  held  in  the  Kirt- 
land Temple,  April  6,  1837,  counseled  these  brethren,  namely,  Hazen 
Aldrich,  Leonard  Rich,  Zebedee  Coltrin,  Lyman  Sherman  and  Sylvester 
Smith,  to  join  the  High  Priests'  quorum,  which  five  of  them  did,  and  the 
following  named  Elders  were  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancies  thus  created  in 
the  First  Council  of  the  Seventies:  John  Gould,  in  place  of  Hazen  Aid- 
rich;  James  Foster,  in  place  of  Leonard  Rich;  Daniel  S.  Miles,  in  place 
of  Zebedee  Coltrin;  Josiah  Butterfield,  in  place  of  Lyman  Sherman; 
Salmon  Gee,  in  place  of  Levi  W.  Hancock,  and  John  Gaylord,  in  place 
of  Sylvester  Smith. 

In  the  summer  of  1837  it  was  ascertained  that  Levi  W.  Hancock, 
who  was  in  Missouri  at  the  time  of  the  April  meeting,  was  not  a  High 
Priest,  and  he  was  therefore  received  back  into  his  former  position  as  one 
of  the  First  Seven  Presidents  of  Seventies,  at  an  important  meeting  held 
at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Sept  3,  1837.  John  Gould,  one  of  the  newly 
appointed  presidents,  was  asked  by  the  Prophet  Joseph  to  join  the  High 
Priests,  which  he  did.  After  these  changes  the  First  Council  of  Seventies 
stood  as  follows:  Joseph  Young,  Levi  W.  Hancock,  James  Foster, 
Daniel  S.  Miles,  Josiah  Butterfield,  Salmon  Gee,  and  John  Gaylord. 


INTRODUCTORY.  XUl 

Jan.  13,  1838,  John  Gaylord,  together  with  many  others,  was  excom- 
municated from  the  Church  by  the  High  Council  at  Kirtland,  bhio,  for 
rising  up  in  rebellion  against  the  Church  authorities.  Elder  Henry  Harri- 
man  was  called  and  ordained  Feb.  6,  1838,  to  fill  the  vacancy  in  the 
First  Council  of  Seventies. 

In  a  meeting  of  the  Seventies,  held  at  Kirdand,  Ohio,  March  6, 
1838,  the  council  withdrew  their  fellowship  from  Salmon  Gee  for  neglect 
of  duty  and  other  causes.  Elder  Zera  Pulsipher  was  chosen  and  ordained 
to  fill  the  vacancy  the  same  day.  The  foregoing  information  about  the 
Seventies  is  obtained  from  the  original  record  of  Seventies  kept  at  Kirt- 
land, Ohio. 

After  these  two  cha'nges  the  council  stood  unchanged  until  the 
Church  had  removed  to  Nauvoo,  111.  It  appears  that  James  Foster, 
instead  of  gathering  with  the  Saints,  settled  at  Jacksonville,  Morgan  Co. , 
111. ,  and  had  no  direct  communication  with  his  brethren.  Prior  to  the 
October  conference,  1844,  he  was  dropped  from  his  position  by  the 
council  of  the  Seventies.  In  the  following  spring  (1845),  Albert  P. 
Rockwood  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  by  the  removal  of  Foster. 

Josiah  Butterfield  retained  his  standing  as  one  of  the  seven  Presi- 
dents until  a  misunderstanding  arose  between  theProphetJosephandhim, 
and  he  was  finally  cut  off  from  the  Church,  Oct.  7,  1844,  at  the  general 
conference  held  at  Nauvoo, for  neglect  of  duty, etc.  The  vacancy  was  filled 
the  same  day  by  the  appointment  of  Jedediah  M.Grant  as  one  of  the  coun- 
cil of  the  Seventies,  but  he  was  not  ordained  until  some  time  afterwards. 

Elder  Daniel  S.  Miles  died  a  faithful  man  in  the  early  part  of 
1845,  in  Hancock  County,  111.,  and  the  vacancy  occasioned  by  his  death 
was  filled  by  Elder  Benjamin  L.  Clapp,  in  April,  1845.  Elder  Albert  P. 
Rockwood,  Benjamin  L.  Clapp  and  Jedediah  M.  Grant  were  ordained  to 
the  positions  to  which  they  had  been  elected  Dec.   2,  1845. 

After  the  demise  ot  Willard  Richards  in  1854,  Elder  Jedediah  M. 
Grant  was  selected  by  President  Brigham  Young  to  fill  the  office  of 
second  Counselor  in  the  First  Presidency,  thus  leaving  another  vacancy 
in  the  council  of  Seventies.  Elder  Horace  S.  Eldrege  was  called,  at  the 
October  conference,  1854,  to  fill  that  vacancy,  and  was  ordained  about 
the  same  time  in  G.  S.  L.  City. 

Elder  Benjamin  L.  Clapp,  alter  living  some  years  in  G.  S.  L.  City,  re- 
moved his  family  to  Ephraim,  Sanpete  Co.,  where  he  had  some  difficulty 
with  Bishop  Warren  S.  Snow.  After  investigation  before  the  Council  of 
Seventies,  he  was  dropped  from  his  position  in  the  council,  and  finally  ex- 
communicated from  the  Church,  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  G.  S. 
L.  City,  April  7,  1859.  Elder  Jacob  Gates  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy, 
at  the  April  Conference,  i860,  but,  being  absent  on  a  mission  to  Europe, 
he  was  not  ordained  until  October,  1862,  some  time  after  his  return 
home. 

Elder  Zera  Pulsipher  transcended  the  bounds  of  the  Priesthood  in 
the  ordinance  of  sealing,  for  which  he  was  cited  to  appear  before  the  First 
Presidency  of  the  Church,  April  12,  1862.  It  was  there  voted,  that  he 
be  rebaptized,  reconfirmed  and  ordained  to  the  office  of  a  High  Priest, 
or  go  into  the  ranks  of  the  Seventies.  Subsequently  he  was  ordained 
a  Patriarch.  Elder  John  Van  Cott  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy  in 
the  council  of   the  Seventies,  at  the  October  conference,  1862. 

Albert  P.  Rockwood  died  in  Sugar  House  Ward,  Salt  Lake  Co., 
Nov.   26,  1879,  and  at  the  April  conference,  1880,  Elder  Wm.  W.  Tay-

or  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy  and  soon  afterwards  ordained  one  of  the 
First  Seven  Presidents  of  Seventies. 

The  vacancies  caused  by  the  death  of  Pres.  Joseph  Young,  July  i6, 
1881,  and  of  Levi  W.  Hancok,  June  10,  1882,  were  filled  by  the  ordina- 
tion of  Abraham  H.  Cannon  as  one  of  the  First  Seven  Presidents,  Oct. 
9,  1882,  and  Seymour  B.  Young  as  another,  Oct.  16,  1882. 

.Elder  John  Van  Cott  died  Feb.  18,  1883.  Christian  Daniel  Fjeld- 
sted  was  called  to  fill  the  vacancy.  He  was  ordained,  April  28,  1884, 
after  his  return  from  a  mission  to  Scandinavia. 

The  demise  of  Elder  Wm.  W.  Taylor,  Aug.  i,  1884,  caused  another 
vacancy,  which  was  filled  Oct.  7,  1884,  by  the  ordination  of  John  Mor- 
gan as  one  of  the  First  Seven  Presidents. 

Horace  S.  Eldredge  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Sept.  6,  188S,  and  the 
vacancy  caused  thereby  was  filled  by  the  calling  of  Brigham  H.  Roberts 
to  act  as  one  of  the  council,  at  the  October  conference,  1888. 

Abraham  H.  Cannon  having  been  ordained  an  Apostle  in  October, 
1889,  George  Reynolds  was  sustained  as  one  of  the  First  Seven  Presi- 
dents of  Seventies,  at  the  April  conference,  1890. 

Elder  Henry  Herriman  died  at  Huntington,  Emery  Co.,  Utah,  May 
17,  1891.  Elder  Jacob  Gates  died  at  Provo,  Utah  Co.,  April  14,  1892. 
The  vacancies  caused  by  the  demise  of  those  two  veteran  presidents 
were  filled  by  the  selection  of  Jonathan  G.  Kimball  and  Rulon  S.  Wells 
as  members  of  the  First  Council  di  Seventies.  The  former  was  sustained 
at  the  general  conference,  held  in  October,  1892,  and  the  latter  at  the 
general  conference,  held  in  April,  1893. 

Elder  John  Morgan  died  at  Preston,  Idaho,  Aug.  14,  1894.  At  the 
following  October  conference,  Edward  Stevenson  was  chosen  to  fill  the 
consequent  vacancy  in  the  council. 

Elder  Edward  Stevenson  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Jan.  27,  1897;  ^^^ 
at  the  general  conference  of  the  Church,  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  in 
October,  1897,  Joseph  W.  McMurrin  was  chosen  to  fill  the  vacancy.  He 
was  ordained  by  Apostle  Anthon  H.  Lund  in  Liverpool,  England,  Jan. 
21,  1898. 

The  council  now  stands  as  follows:  Seymour  B.  Young,  Christian 
D.  Fjeldsted,  Brigham  H.  Roberts,  George  Reynolds,  Jonathan  G.  Kim- 
ball, Rulon  S.  Wells  and  Joseph  W.  McMurrin. 

PRESIDING    BISHOPRIC. 

Edward  Partridge,  the  first  Bishop  of  the  Church,  was  called  to  that 
position  Feb.  4,  1831,  by  revelation.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  41.)  Later, 
when  other  Bishops  were  ordained,  he  beeame  known  as  the  first  or  pre- 
siding Bishop.  June  6,  1831,  at  solemn  meeting,  held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio, 
Isaac  Morley  and  John  Corrill  were  ordained  and  set  apart  as  counselors 
to  Bishop  Partridge. 

In  a  letter  written  by  the  First  Presidency  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  to 
Wm.  W.  Phelps  and  others,  in  Missouri,  under  date  of  June  25,  1833, 
the  following  occurs:  "Let  Brother  Isaac  Morley  be  ordained  second 
Bishop  in  Zion,  and  let  brother  John  Corrill  be  ordained  third.  Let 
Brother  Edward  Partridge  choose,  as  counselors  in  their  place.  Brother 
Parley  P.  Pratt  and  Brother  Titus  Billings,  ordaining  Brother  Billings  to 
the  High  Priesthood." 

Owing  to  the  persecutions  which  befell  the  Saints  in  Missouri,  these

appointments  were  not  made;  but  at  a  meeting,  held  at  Far  West,  Mo., 
Aug.  I,  1837,  Titus  Billings  was  elected  Bishop's  counselor,  in  place  of 
John  Correli;  and  at  a  conference  held  at  the  same  place,  Nov.  7,  1837, 
Edward  Partridge  "was  nominated  to  still  act  as  Bishop;"  after  which  he 
nominated  Isaac  Morley  and  Titus  Billings  for  his  counselors,  and  they 
"were  unanimously  chosen," 

These  three  constituted  the  head  Bishopric  of  the  Church  during  the 
life  time  of  Bishop  Partridge. 

Bishop  Edward  Partridge  filled  his  responsible  position  faithfully,  in 
the  midst  of  the  most  severe  persecutions,  until  his  death,  which  occurred 
at  Nauvoo,  111., May  27,  1840. 

In  a  revelation  given  through  Joseph  the  Prophet,  Jan.  19,  1841, 
George  Miller  was  called  to  the  position  of  Bishop,  in  place  of  Edward 
Partridge,  deceased.  (Doc.  and  Gov. ,  124.  21.)  In  the  same  revelation, 
Sec.  141,  the  Lord  says:  'T  give  unto  you, Vinson  Knight,  Samuel  H. 
Smith  and  Shadrach  Roundy,  if  he  will  receive  it,  to  preside  over  the 
Bishopric." 

From  the  documents  at  our  command  at  present,  we  are  unable  to 
learn  whether  or  not  the  above  named  brethren  officiated  in  the  callings 
whereunto  they  were  called ;  but  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  October, 
1844,  at  Nauvoo,  111.,  Newel  K.  Whitney  (who  had  been  called  by 
revelation  to  act  as  Bishop  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Dec.  4,1831)  was  sustained 
as  "first  Bishop,"  and  George  Miller  as  "second  Bishop"  in  the  Church. 
From  that  time  till  his  death  Newel  K.  Whitney  was  recognized,  and 
after  April,  1847,  sustained  by  the  voice  of  the  general  conference,  as  pre- 
siding Bishop  of  the  Church.  He  had  no  regularly  appointed  Counse- 
lors; but  recognized  Brigham  Young  and  Keber  C.  Kimball  as  his  chiei 
counselors  and  advisers. 

Bishop  Newel  K.  Whitney  died  in  G.  S.  L.  City,  Sept.  23,  1850. 
At  the  general  conference  of  the  Church,  held  in  April,  1851,  Edward 
Hunter,  who  had  been  ordained  a  Bishop  in  Nauvoo  in  1844,  ^was 
sustained  as  presiding  Bishop.  It  appears,  however,  that  he  was  not 
ordained  and  set  apart  to  that  position  till  a  year  later.  Like  his  prede- 
cessor, he  received  immediate  advice  from  Presidents  Brigham  Young 
and  Heber  C.  Kimball,  and  chose  no  other  counselors  until  October, 
1856,  when,  at  the  general  conference,  held  in  G.  S.  L.  City,  Leonard 
W.  Hardy  was  sustained  as  first  and  Jesse  C.  Little  as  second  counselor 
to  Bishop  Edward  Hunter. 

Counselor  Jesse  C.  Little  resigned  his  position  as  counselor.  At  the 
general  conference  held  in  Salt  Lake  City,  in  October,  1874,  Robert  T. 
Burton  was  sustained  as  second  counselor  to  Bishop  Hunter.  He  was 
ordained  and  set  apart  to  this  position,  Sept.  2,1875,  after  his  return  from 
a  mission  to  England. 

Bishop  Edward  Hunter  died  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Oct  16, 1883.  At  the 
general  conference,  held  in  April  1884,  Wm.  B.  Preston,  who  had  pre- 
viously presided  over  the  Cache  Stake  of  Zion,  was  sustained  as  presiding 
Bishop,  with  Leonard  W.  Hardy  as  his  first  and  Robert  T.  Burton  as  his

INTRODUCTORY.  XIX 

from  his  position.  At  the  general  conference,  held  at  Provo,  Utah,  Co.,  in 
April,  1886,  John  R.  Winder  was  sustained  as  second  counselor  in  the 
Presiding  Bishopric. 

Thus  Wm.  B.  Preston,  Robert  T.  Burton  and  John  R.  Winder  con- 
stitute at  the  present  time  the  presiding  Bishopric  of  the  Church. 

CHURCH  HISTORIANS  AND  RECORDERS. 

The  office  of  Church  Recorder  was  provided  for  by  direct  revelation, 
given  April  6,  1830,  immediately  after  the  organization  ot  the  Church. 
In  that  revelation  the  Lord  says,  "Behold,  there  shall  be  a  record  kept 
among  you,"  etc.  (Doc.  and  Cov.,  21:1.)  Oliver  Cowdery,  who  had 
acted  as  a  scribe  for  the  Prophet  Joseph,  while  translating  the  Book  ol 
Mormon,  received  the  appointment  as  the  first  Church  Recorder. 

March  8,  1831,  John  Whitmer,  one  of  the  Eight  Witnesses  to  the 
Book  of  Mormon,  was  called  by  revelation  to  the  position  of  Church 
Historian.  ''Behold,  it  is  expedient  in  me",  said  the  Lord,  "that  my 
servant  John  (Whitmer)  should  write  and  keep  a  regular  history,"  and 
'  'it  shall  be  appointed  unto  him  to  keep  the  Church  record  and  history 
continually,  for  Oliver  Cowdery  I  have  appointed  to  another  office." 
(Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  47.)  John  Whitmer  removed  to  Missouri  in  the 
winter  ol  1831-32,  and  he  was  consequently  unable  to  attend  to  his  duties 
as  Historian  and  Recorder  at  the  headquarters  of  the  Church,  which  were 
still  at  Kirtland.  Hence,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Presidency  of  the  Church 
and  the  High  Council,  held  at  Kirtland,  Ohio,  Sept.  14,  1835,  Oliver 
Cowdery  was  again  appointed  "Recorder  for  the  Church." 

At  a  conference  of  the  authorities  of  the  Church  and  of  the  Saints, 
held  in  the  Kirtland  Temple,  Sept.  17,  1837,  Geo.  W.  Robinson  was 
elected  General  Church  Recorder,  in  place  of  Oliver  Cowdery,  who  had 
removed  to  Missouri. 

At  a  general  conference,  held  at  Far  West,  Mo.,  April  6,  1838,  John 
Corrill  and  Elias  Higbee  were  appointed  Church  Historians,  "to  write  and 
keep  the  Church  history;"  and  Geo.  W.  Robinson  was  sustained  as 
General  Church  Recorder  and  clerk  to  the  First  Presidency. 

John  Corrill  apostatized  during  the  Missouri  persecutions,  and  was 
excommunicated  from  the  Church,  at  a  conference,  held  at  Quincy,  111., 
March  17,  1839. 

Elias  Higbee  was  selected  to  accompany  the  Prophet  Joseph  to 
Washington,  D.C.,  as  a  delegate  from  the  Church  to  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment, and  later  was  chosen  as  a  member  of  the  committee  appointed  to 
superintend  the  building  of  the  Nauvoo  Temple.  Owing  to  these  addi- 
tional responsibilities,  he  was  unable  to  devote  much  of  his  time  to  the 
writing  of  Church  history.     He  finally  died,  at  Nauvoo,  June  8,  1843. 

At  the  general  conference  of  the  Church,  held  at  Nauvoo,  111.,  Oct. 
3,  1840,  Robert  B.  Thompson  was  appointed  General  Church  Clerk,  in 
place  of  George  W.  Robinson,  who  intended  to  remove  to  Iowa. 

Elder  Thompson  entered  upon  the  duties  of  his  office  faithfully,  but 
took  suddenly  sick  and  died,  at  Nauvoo,  Aug.  27,  1841. 

Oct.  2,  1841,  at  a  general  conference,  held  in  the  Grove,  at  Nauvoo, 
111. ,  James  Sloan  was  elected  General  Church  Clerk,  in  place  of  Robert 
B.  Thompson,  deceased. 

At  a  special  meeting,  held  at  Nauvoo,  July  30,  1843,  Elder  Willard 
Richards  was  appointed  General  Church  Recorder,  succeeding  James 
Sloan,  who  had  left  Nauvoo  on  a  mission  to  Ireland.

THE   HOLY    PRIESTHOOD. 


commanding  that  Joseph  Smith 
"should  ordain  Oliver  Cowdery  to 
be  an  Elder  in  the  Church  of  Jesus 
Christ, ' '  and  that  Oliver  should  or- 
dain Joseph  to  the  same  office.  Alter 
that,  they  were  to  ordain  others,  as  it 
should  be  made  known  unto  them 
from  time  to  time.  However,  they 
were  commanded  to  defer  these  or- 
dinations until  ''such  times  as  it 
should  be  practicable  to  have  their 
brethren,  who  had  been  and  who 
should  be  baptized,  assemble  to- 
gether." 

This  commandment  was  complied 
with,  April  6,  1830,  the  day  on  which 
the  Church  was  organized.  On  that 
occassion  Joseph  Smith  laid  his  hands 
upon  Oliver  Cowdery  and  ordained 
him  an  Elder  in  the  Church,  after 
which  Oliver  ordained  Joseph  to  the 
office  of  an  Elder.  Next,  they  ad- 
ministered the  Sacrament,  and  then 
laid  their  hands  on  each  individual 
member  of  the  Church  present,  that 
they  might  receive  the  Holy  Ghost 
and  be  confirmed  members  of  the 
Church. 

The  exact  date  of  the  ordination  of 
Joseph  Smith  and  Oliver  Cowdery 
to  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood  by 
Peter,  James  and  John  is  not  stated, 
but  it  is  generally  believed  to  have 
taken  place  in  June  or  July,  1829. 
In  proof  of  the  ordination  we  have 
the  word  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  in 
a  revelation,  given  to  Joseph  Smith 
at  Fayette,  N.  Y.,  in  September, 
1830,  as  follows:  "Listen  to  the  voice 
of  Jesus  Christ,  your  Lord,  your 
God,  and  your  Redeemer,  whose 
word  is  quick  and  powerful.  *  *  ^ 
The  hour  cometh  that  I  will  drink  of 
the  fruit  of  the  vine  with  you  on  the 
earth,  and  with  Moroni,  whom  I  have 
sent  unto  you  to  reveal  the  Book  of 
Mormon,  containing  the  fulness  of 
my  everlasting  gospel.  *  *  *  And 
also  John,  the  son  of  Zacharias.  *  * 
which  John  I  have  sent  unto  you, 
my  servants,  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  and 
Oliver  Cowdery,  to  ordain  you  unto 
this  first  Priesthood,  which  you  have 


received,  that  you  might  be  called 
and  ordained  even  as  Aaron.  *  *  * 
And  also  with  Peter,  and  James,  and 
John,  whom  I  have  sent  unto  you, 
by  whom  I  have  ordained  you  and 
confirmed  you  to  be  Apostles  and 
especial  witnesses  of  my  name,  and 
bear  the  keys  of  your  ministry,  and 
of  the  same  things  which  I  revealed 
unto  them."  (Doc.  and  Cov..  27:1, 
5,  7,  8,  12.) 

In  a  revelation  on  Church  Govern- 
ment, given  through  Joseph  Smith, 
the  Prophet,  in  April,  1830,  at  Fay- 
ette, the  following  passage  occurs: 
"Commandment  were  given  to  Jo- 
seph Smith,  jun. ,  who  was  called  of 
God  and  ordained  an  Apostle  of  Je- 
sus Christ,  to  be  the  first  Elder  of  this 
Church ;  and  to  Oliver  Cowdery,  who 
was  also  called  of  God,  an  Apostle 
of  Jesus  Christ,  to  be  the  second  El- 
der of  this  Church,  and  ordained 
under  his  (Joseph's)  hand."  (Doc. 
and  Cov.,  20:2,  3.) 

In  the  light  of  the  foregoing  it  is 
plain  that  none  among  the  children 
of  men  at  the  present  time  possess  the 
holy  Priesthood,  with  divine  author- 
ity to  administer  in  the  ordinances  of 
the  gospel,  except  those  who  have 
received  their  ordinations  through 
the  laying  on  of  hands  by  men  whose 
commissions  rest  upon  the  divine 
calling  of  Joseph  the  Prophet.  This 
being  the  case,  it  is  desirable  that  every 
Apostle,  Prophet,  Patriarch,  High 
Priest,  Seventy,  Elder,  Bishop,  Priest, 
Teacher  and  Deacon  in  the  Church 
should  be  able  to  trace  the  Priest- 
hood they  hold  back  to  the  Prophet 
Joseph. 

For  the  benefit  of  the  brethren  who 
are  endeavouring  to  mal^e  proper  re- 
cords of  these  things,  we  publish  the 
subjoined  biographical  notes,  which 
contain  the  ordinations  of  nearly  all 
the  Elders  who  have  been  sustained 
and  who  at  the  present  time  are  being 
sustained  as  the  general  authorities 
ot  the  Church.  The  lack  of  space  in 
this  little  work  of  reference  prevents 
us  from  including  other  officers.

in  and  about  Palmyra,  N.  Y.,  which  result- 
ed in  great  contention  among  the  preachers 
and  members  of  the  different  sects 
who  sought  to  influence  the  new  converts 
to  join  their  respective  churches.  Joseph 
Smith,  jun.,  (then  about  fourteen  years 
old) ,  being  unable  to  decide  which  of  all 
the  sects  was  right,  and  being  deeply  im- 
pressed with  the  promise  in  James  1,5: 
"If  any  of  you  lack  wisdom,  let  him  ask  of 
God  that  giveth  to  all  men  liberally,  and 
upbraideth  not;  and  it  shall  be  given  him," 
retired  to  a  grove  near  his  father's  house, 
early  in  the  spring  of  the  year,  where  he 
sought  the  Lord  in  earnest  prayer.  While 
thus  engaged,  he  beheld  two  glorious 
beings  wrapped  in  a  brilliant  light,  stand- 
ing above  him  in  the  air.  One  of  them 
spoke  to  him,  calling  him  by  name,  and  said 
(pointing  to  the  other) ,  "This  is  my  be- 
loved Son,  hear  Him."  Joseph  then  asked 
the  personages,  standing  above  him  in  the 
light,  which  of  the  sects  was  right  and 
which  he  should  join.  He  was  answered 
that  he  must  join  none  of  them,  for  they 
were  all  wrong.  The  person  speaking  said 
further  that  all  their  creeds  were  an 
abomination  in  his  sight  and  that  "those 
professors  were  all  corrupt."  "They  draw 
near  to  me  with  their  lips,  but  their  hearts 
are  far  from  me ;  they  teach  for  doctrine 
the  commandments  of  men,  having  a  form 
of  godliness;  but  they  deny  the  power 
thereof." 


1821=1828. 

These  eight  years  may  be  termed  the 
preparatory  period  preceeding  the  restora- 
tion of  the  Priesthood  and  the  organization 
of  the  Church  of  Christ  on  the  earth.  The 
angel  Moroni  appeared  to  the  Prophet 
Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  several  times  and 
finally  delivered  to  him  the  plates  of  the 
Book  of  Mormon.  The  translation  of  the 
sacred  records  was  begun,  and  Joseph 
commenced  to  receive  revelations. 
1821. 

April.    Mon.  2.— Franklin  Dewey  Rich- 
ards was  bom  in  Richmond,  Berkshire  Co., 


1823. 
September.  Sun.  21. — Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  while  engaged  in  earnest  prayer  in 
his  father's  house  in  Manchester,  near 
Palmyra,  N.  Y.,  saw  the  room  in  which  he 
had  retired  for  the  night  filled  with  light 
surpassing  that  of  noonday,  in  the  midst  of 
which  stood  a  person  dressed  in  white, 
whose  countenance  was  as  lightning,  and 
yet  full  of  innocence  and  goodness.  This 
was  the  angel  Moroni  (sometimes 
erroneously  called  Nephi),  who  informed 
Joseph  that  God  had  a  work  for  him 
(Joseph)  to  do,  and  that  his  "name  should 
be  had  for  good  and  evil  among  all  nations." 
The  angel  quoted  many  passages  of 
Scripture,  and  told  Joseph  that  the  native 
inhabitants  of  America  were  a  remnant  of 
Israel  who  had  anciently  enjoyed  the  min- 
istry of  inspired  men,  that  records  en- 
graved on  plates  of  gold,  containing  their 


history  and  also  the  fulness  of  the  ever- 
lasting Gospel  had  been  preserved  and 
were  buried  in  a  neighboring  hUl.  While 
conversing  with  the  angel,  a  vision  was 
opened  to  Joseph's  view,  so  that  he  could 
see  the  place  where  the  plates  were  de- 
posited, and  he  was  told  by  the  angel  that 
he  should  obtain  them  at  some  future  day, 
if  he  was  faithful.  After  imparting  many 
instructions,  the  angel  disappeared,  but 
returned  twice  during  the  night,  and  re- 
peated what  he  had  said  on  his  first  visit ; 
he  also  gave  further  instructions. 

Mon.  22.— Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  was 
again  visited  by  the  angel  Moroni 
and  received  further  instructions.  He 
related  what  he  had  seen  and  heard  to  his 
father,  who  believed  his  words,  and  advised 
him  to  do  as  he  had  been  instructed.  He 
then  went  to  the  hill  (Cumorah)  that  he 
had  seen  in  his  vision  the  previous  night, 
and  soon  found  the  spot  where  the  plates 
containing  the  ancient  records  were 
buried  in  a  stone  box.  He  lifted  the  lid  of 
the  box  and  beheld  "the  plates,  the  Urim 
and  Thummim  and  breastplate,  as  stated 
by  the  angel."  While  attempting  to  "take 
them  out,"  the  angel  informed  him  "that 
the  time  for  bringing  them  forth  had  not 
yet  arrived,  neither  would,  untD  four  years 
from  that  time." 

1824. 

September.  Wed.  22.— Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  again  visited  the  hill  Cumorah,  ac- 
cording to  previous  commandment,  and 
there  received  further  instructions  from 
the  angel.  On  the  same  day  of  the  two  fol- 
lowing years  he  made  similar  visits  to  the 
hill,  receiving  instructions  from  the  angel 
each  time. 

1827. 

January.  Thurs.  11. — George  Quayle 
Cannon  was  born  in  Liverpool,  Lancashire, 
England. 

Thurs.  18. — Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  married 
Emma  Hale,  a  daughter  of  Isaac  Hale,  while 
in  the  employ  of  Josiah  Stoal,  in  Chenango 
County,  N.  Y. 

September.  Sat.  22. — The  angel  Moroni 
delivered  to  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  the 
ancient  records,  or  the  plates  of  the  Book 
of  Mormon ;  also  the  Urim  and  Thummim, 
with  which  to  translate  them,  and  the 
breastplate. 

When  it  became  known  that  Joseph 
Smith,  jun.,  had  obtained  the  plates,  severe 
persecutions  arose  against  him  and  his 
father's  family,  and  every  effort  was  made 
to  rob  him  of  the  sacred  treasure. 

December.—  Owing  to  persecutions 
Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  removed  from  Man- 
chester, N.  Y.,  to  Harmony,  Susquehanna 
Co., Pa.,  but  there  also  persecution  awaited 
him.  During  this  and  the  following 
month  he  translated  some  of  the  character* 
of  the  plates. 

1828. 

February.— Martin  Harris  visited  Jo- 
seph Smith,  jun.,  at  Harmony,  Pa.,  and 
took  some  of  the  characters,  which  had 
been  transcribed,  and  the  translation  of 
them,  to  New  York  City,  where  he  showed 
them  to  Professor  Charles  Anthon  and 
Doctor  Mitchell. 

April. — Martin  Harris  returned  from 
New  York  City  and  commenced  to  write  for 


CHURCH    CMKOKOLOGY — 1829. 


Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  who  continued  to 
translate  from  the  plates  until  June  14tth. 

June.— Martin  Harris  lost  the  manu- 
script which  he  had  obtained  contrary  to 
the  will  of  the  Lord.  It  consisted  of  116 
written  pages  translated  from  the  plates 
by  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  and  has  never  since 
been  recovered. 

July.— Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  having  re- 
turned to  Harmony,  Pa.,  from  a  visit  to  his 
father's  family  in  Manchester,  N.  Y.,  en- 
quired of  the  Lord  through  the  Urim  and 
Thummim  and  received  the  first  revelation 
published  in  the  Book  of  Doctrine  and 
Covenants.     (Doc.  and  Gov.,  Sec.  3.) 


18S9. 

During  this  year  the  translation  of  the 
Book  of  Mormon  was  completed  by  Joseph 
Smith,  jun.,  who  was  assisted  by  Oliver 
Cowdery  as  scribe ;  the  plates  were  shown 
to  the  Three  Witnesses  and  the  Eight 
Witnesses;  the  Aaronic  Priesthood  was 
restored  to  the  earth  by  John  the  Baptist, 
and,  later,  the  Melchisedec  Priesthood  by 
Peter,  James  and  John;  Joseph  Smith,  jun., 
and  Oliver  Cowdery  also  commenced  to 
preach  and  baptize. 

February.— Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  was 
visited  by  his  father  Joseph  Smith,  sen., 
at  Harmony,  Pa.,  and  received  a  revelation 
addressed  to  him.     (Doc.  andCov.,  Sec.  4.) 

March. — The  revelation  known  as  Sec- 
tion 5  of  the  Doctrine  and  Covenants  was 
given  at  Harmony. 

April.  iSun.  5. — Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  and 
Oliver  Cowdery  met  for  the  first  time. 

Tues.  7. — Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  resumed 
the  translation  of  the  Book  of  Mormon, 
assisted  by  Oliver  Cowdery  as  scribe,  at 
Harmony. 

Later  in  April,  Oliver  Cowdery  was 
called  by  revelation  to  assist  Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  in  his  labors  and  stand  by  him  in  his 
difficulties.  Oliver  was  also  promised  the 
gift  of  translating  like  Joseph,  if  he  desired 
it.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  6.) 

The  Lord  revealed  to  Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  that  John,  the  beloved  Disciple,  was 
given  power  over  death,  that  he  might  live 
and  bring  souls  to  Christ  and  to  prophesy 
before  nations,  kindreds,  tongues  and 
people  until  the  coming  of  Christ  in  his 
glory.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  7.) 

Oliver  Cowdery  was  instructed  by  re- 
velation through  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  to 
exercise  great  faith,  that  he  might  know 
the  mysteries  of  God,  translate  and  receive 
knowledge  from  ancient  records.  (Doc. 
and  Cov.,  Sec.  8.) 

As  Oliver  Cowdery  did  not  translate,  ac- 
cording to  his  former  desire,  he  was  com- 
manded to  write  for  Joseph  Smith,  jun., 
until  the  translation  of  the  Book  of  Mor- 
mon was  finished.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  9.) 

May. — A  revelation  concerning  the  alter- 
ation of  the  forepart  of  the  Book  of  Mor- 
mon was  given  to  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  at 
Harmony.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  10.) 

—  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  was  visited  by 
Joseph  Knight,  sen.,  from  Broome  Co.,  N. 
y.,    who    brought    him    provisions.       Mr. 


Knight  being  anxious  to  know  his  duty  in 
relation  to  the  work  of  God,  Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  enquired  of  the  Lord  and  received  a 
revelation,     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  12.) 

Fri.  15. — While  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  and 
Oliver  Cowdery  were  engaged  in  prayer  in 
the  woods,  near  Harmony,  John  the  Bap- 
tist descended  as  a  messenger  from  heaven 
in  a  cloud  of  light  and  ordained  them  to 
the  Priesthood  of  Aaron  and  commanded 
them  to  baptize  and  ordain  each  other. 
This  they  did  the  same  day.  Immediately 
after  being  baptized,  the  Holy  Ghost  fell 
upon  them  in  great  measure  and  both  pro- 
phesied. (See  Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  13,  and 
History  of  Joseph  Smith.) 

Mon.  25. — Samuel  Harrison  Smith,  who" 
had  come  to  visit  his  brother  Joseph  at 
Harmony,  was  baptized  by  Oliver  Cow- 
dery. 

A  few  days  later  Hyrum  Smith  visited 
Harmony  to  make  enquiries  about  the 
work  of  God,  and  received  through  his 
brother  Joseph  a  revelation,  calling  him  to 
assist  in  the  work.  (Doc.  and  Cov., 
Sec.  11.) 

June. — Joseph  Smith,jun.,  removed  from 
Harmony,  Pa.,  to  the  home  of  Peter  Whit- 
mer,  sen.,  at  Fayette,  Seneca  Co.,  N.  Y., 
where  he  resided  while  finishing  the  trans- 
lation of  the  Book  of  Mormon.  The  Whit- 
mer  family  was  very  kind  to  Joseph,  and 
John  Whitmer  rendered  efficient  aid  as  a 
scribe. 

—  David  Whitmer,  John  Whitmer  and 
Peter  Whitmer,  jun.,  being  very  desirous 
to  know  their  respective  duties,  besought 
Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  to  "enquire  of  the  Lord 
concerning  them."  He  did  so  through 
the  Urim  and  Thummim,  and  received  the 
revelations  known  as  Sections  14, 15  and 
16  of  the  Doctrine  and  Covenants. 

—  Hyrum  Smith,  David  Whitmer  and 
Peter  Whitmer,  jun.,  were  baptized  in 
Seneca  lake,  near  Fayette. 

—  As  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  progressed 
with  the  work  of  translation,  he  ascertained 
that  three  special  witnesses  "were  to  be 
provided  by  the  Lord"  to  see  the  plates  and 
bear  record  of  the  same.  (Ether.  5 : 2-4.) 
Oliver  Cowdery,  David  Whitmer  and  Mar- 
tin Harris,  being  very  desirous  to  "be 
these  three  special  witnesses,"  received  the 
promise  by  revelation  through  Joseph 
Smith,  jun.,  that  they  should  "have  a  view 
of  the  plates,  and  also  of  the  breastplate, 
the  sword  of  Laban,  the  Urim  and  Thum- 
mim and  the  miraculous  directors."  (Doc. 
and  Cov.,  Sec.  17.) 

—  A  few  days  later  an  angel  showed  the 
plates  of  the  Book  of  Mormon  to  the  Three 
Witnesses. 

—  Soon  afterwards  the  plates  were 
shown  by  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  to  Christian 
Whitmer,  Jacob  Whitmer,  Peter  Whitmer, 
jun.,  John  Whitmer,  Hiram  Page,  Joseph 
Smith,  sen.,  Hyrum  Smith  and  Samuel  H. 
Smith,  who  subsequently  gave  their  testi- 
mony as  the  Eight  Witnesses  to  the  Book 
of  Mormon. 

—A  revelation  wss  given  to  Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  Oliver  Cowdery  and  David  Whitmer, 
"making  known  the  calling  of  Twelve 
Apostles  in  these  last  days,"  and  contain- 
ing "instructions  relative  to  building  up 
the  Church  of  Christ,  according  to  the  ful- 
ness of  the  gospel." u  (Doc.  and  Cot., 
Sec.  18.) 


CHURCH   CHRONOLOGY — 1830. 


—  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  and  Oliver  Cow- 
dery  being  desirous  to  obtain  the  Mel- 
chisedec  Priesthood  which  had  been  pro- 
mised them  by  John  the  Baptist,  engaged 
in  "solemn  and  fervent  prayer,"  at  Fay- 
ette, when  "the  word  of  the  Lord  came," 
commanding  them  to  ordain  each  other. 
But  they  were  to  wait  for  this  ordination 
till  the  others  who  had  been  baptized  as- 
sembled together. 


1830. 

In  the  beginning  of  this  year  the  Book 
of  Mormon  was  printed  and  published  in 
the  English  language.  This  first  edition 
of  the  book,  consisting  of  5,000  copies,  was 
printed  by  Egbert  Grandin,  at  Palmyra, 
N.  Y.  Soon  afterwards  the  Church  was 
organized ;  the  first  conferences  were  held, 
the  first  missionaries  sent  out  to  preach 
the  fulness  of  the  gospel,  and  several  rev- 
elations given  for  the  government  of  the 
Church ;  a  larsre  branch  was  established  at 
Kirtland,  Ohio.  etc. 

March.  Martin  Harris  was  commanded 
by  revelation  through  Joseph  Smith,  jun., 
at  Manchester,  N.Y.,  to  repent  of  his  sins. 
(Doe.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  19.) 

April.  An  important  revelation  on 
Priesthood  and  Church  government  in 
general  was  given  through  Joseph  Smith, 
jun.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  20.) 

Tues.  6.  The  Church  (afterwards  named 
by  revelation  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  Latter-day  Saints)  was  organized  ac- 
cording to  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New 
York,  in  the  house  of  Peter  Whitmer,  sen., 
at  Fayette,  Seneca  Co.,  N.  Y.,  with  six 
members,  namely,  Joseph  Smith,  jun., 
Oliver  Cowdery,  Hyrum  Smith,  Peter 
Whitmer,  jun.,  Samuel  H.  Smith  and  David 
Whitmer.  Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  and  Oliver 
Cowdery  ordained  each  other  Elders— the 
first  Elders  in  the  Church— according  to 
commandment  from  God.  They  then  laid 
hands  on  all  the  baptized  members  present, 
"that  they  might  receive  the  gift  of  the 
Holy  Ghost  and  be  confirmed  members  of 
the  Church."  The  Holy  Ghost  was  poured 
out  upon  them  "to  a  very  great  degree." 
Some  prophesied  and  "all  praised  the  Lord 
and  rejoiced  exceedingly." 

The  Church  was  commanded  by  reve- 
lation to  keep  a  record,  and  Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  was  named  by  the  Lord  a  Seer,  a 
Revelator,  a  Prophet,  an  Apostle  of  Jesus 
Christ,  etc.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  20.) 

Soon  after  the  organization  of  the 
Church  the  Prophet's  parents  (Joseph 
Smith,  sen.,  and  Lucy  Smith),  Martin  Har- 
ris and  A.  Rockwell  were  baptized. 

Some  persons  who  had  been  baptized  in 
the  sectarian  denominations  desired  to  join 
the  Church  without  further  baptism,  but 
the  Lord,by  revelation  through  the  Prophet 
Joseph,  instructed  them  to  enter  in  at  the 
gate,  as  He  had  commanded,  and  not  seek 
to  counsel  God.     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  22.) 

Oliver  Cowdery,  Hyrum  Smith,  Samuel 
H.  Smith  and  Joseph  Knight  being  anxious 
to  know  their  respective  duties  in  relation 


to  the  work  of  God,  Joseph  the  Prophet 
inquired  of  the  Lord  and  received  a  reve- 
lation.    (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  23.) 

Sun.  11. — Oliver  Cowdery  preached  the 
first  public  discourse  delivered  by  any  of 
the  Elders  in  this  dispensation.  The  meet- 
ing was  held  in  the  house  of  Peter  Whit- 
mer, sen.,  at  Fayette.  Hiram  Page,  Cath-

Late  in  April  the  Prophet  Joseph  vis- 
ited Joseph  Knight,  at  Colesville,  Broome 
Co.,  N.  Y.,  where,  under  the  Prophet's  ad- 
ministration, the  first  miracle  was  wrought 
in  this  dispensation,  viz:  casting  out 
devils.

ren were  ordained  to  the  Priesthood ;  the 
Holy  Spirit  was  poured  out  in  a  miraculous 
manner;  many  of  the  Saints  prophesied 
and  Newel  Knight  and  others  had  heavenly 
visions.

family  to  his  own  home  at  Harmony,  Pa. 

—Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  Oliver  Cowdery,

Colesville,  N.  Y.,  where  they  held  meeting, 
notwithstanding  the  mob,  and  baptized 
thirteen  persons,  among  whom  were  Emma 
Smith  and  Joseph  Knight.  Joseph  Smith, 
jun.,  was  arrested,  charged  with  setting 
the  country  in  an  uproar  by  his  preaching, 
tried  and  acquitted  in  South  Bainbridge, 
Chenango  Co.,  N.  Y.  Immediately  after- 
wards he  was  again  arrested,  tried  and

Moses)  was  given  to  Joseph  Smith,  jun. 
(Pearl  of  Great  Price,  page  1.) 

—Joseph  Smith,  jun.  and  Oliver  Cowdery 
again  visited  Colesville  and  confirmed  the 
newly  baptized  members. 

July.— Joseph  Smith,  jun.,  was  com- 
manded by  revelation  to  devote  all  his 
time  to  the  interest  of  the  Church,  but  in 
temporal  labors  he  should  "not  have 
strength."     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  24.) 

—  Emma  Smith,  the  Prophet's  wife,  was 
called  by  the  Lord  to  expound  scriptures, 
exhort  the  Church,  and  make  a  selection  of 
sacred  hymns  for  the  use  of  the  Saints. 
(Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  25.) 

—  The  Lord  commanded  that  "all  things" 
in  the  Church  should  "be  done  by  common 
consent."     (Doc.  and  Cov.,  Sec.  26.) 

—  Oliver  Cowdery  returned  to  Fayette 
where  he  and  the  Whitmer  family  became

1889. 

By  the  Saints  in  Utah  1889  wiU  be  re- 
membered as  the  year  when  the  question 
whether  or  not  the  Church  to  which  they 
belonged  could  be  robbed  of  its  property 
by  the  government  was  laid  before  the  su- 
preme tribunal  of  their  country ;  and  also 
the  question  whether  they  could  be  rob- 
bed of  civil  and  political  rights  as  indi- 
vidual citizens,  because  of  their  religious 
belief.  Abroad  the  missionaries  met  with 
considerable  success,  and  a  few  were  bap- 
tized in  Asia  Minor  and  Palestine.  In  New

braced the  gospel,  and  the  progress  in 
Europe  is  shown  by  the  fact  that,  during 
the  year,  321  were  baptized  in  Great  Brit- 
ain, 572  in  Scandinavia,  219  in  Switzerland 
and  Germany,  and  77  in  Holland.  The
